Guitar solos that contain dive bombs? Lightning fast thrash drum beats? White hi-top sneakers? This could only mean old school metal trio Merciless Night has arrived, complete with Souza-esque vocals in tow. On this eight-track trip in the time machine, this relentless thrash metal assault sounds, looks, and feels like 1986 all over again, and with song titles like "Slaughter Lord" and "Exhumer", it's a safe bet that your neck is gonna hurt after a few choice headbanging sessions with this disc blaring through the speakers of your boombox. www.heavyartillery.us
